I'm the only one who mentioned Torres as far as I know, and it was purely in reference to his gliding pace when he hits his stride. I was very clear that the comparison dies on the vine the moment it's time to shoot, pass or decide where to go.
FWIW I thought he did okay today. Had he been partnered with Sturridge/Ings (maybe Benteke, not sure though), or supported by Firmino, Hendo, or someone else capable of making a useful run, I think he could've been more effective. He's a 4th/5th choice forward for a reason though.
